The big five, the huge two, and creative self-beliefs: A meta-analysis.

Abstract

This article reports a meta-analysis of the relationships between creative self-beliefs (CSBs)-a broad set of characteristics including creative self-efficacy, creative personal identity, and self-rated creativityand the Big Five (openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism) as well as the Huge Two (plasticity and stability) personality traits. A review of the literature identified 25 independent studies and more than 80 correlations per personality factor; these were analyzed using a 3-level meta-analysis model. Openness was consistently the strongest predictor of CSBs (r ϭ .

The Creative Self-Concept as a Mediator Between Openness to Experience and Creative Behaviour

“…And a recent meta-analysis also further confirmed these relations (Karwowski & Lebuda, 2015). On the other hand, the belief in one's own creative abilities may exert its influence on people's behavioural tendencies or actual behavioural engagement in creative activities and tasks (Bandura, 1997;Furnham, Zhang, & Chamorro-Premuzic, 2005).…”

Relating Personality and Creativity: Considering What and How We Measure

“…This study combines the issues by examining the extent to which the use of different creativity measures influences the relationship to personality. Using different scales of creative self‐beliefs (e.g., creative self‐efficacy vs. creative identity vs. self‐rating of creativity) has been shown to have differential relations to personality (Karwowski & Lebuda, ). Personality factors may also predict production measures (e.g., inventories of creative activities) better than ideation‐based factors (e.g., divergent thinking tests) and predict self‐reported measures better than externally assessed measures (Puryear, Kettler, & Rinn, 2017).…”

“…Despite the large amount of research relating creativity and personality, conceptions or measurements of creativity as an influence on this relationship have not been a common frame for studies. One area of work over the past decade that has used this frame was summarized by Karwowski and Lebuda (). In their meta‐analysis of 25 studies, they examined the relationship of personality to a group of variables that they collectively referred to as creative self‐beliefs.…”

Creativity and Innovation: Basic Concepts and Approaches

“…Through decades of investigation, two relatively consistent results seem to occur. The first is a positive correlation between openness and creativity (e.g., Feist, 1998Feist, , 1999McCrae, 1987;Werner et al, 2014) with an average r = 0.28 between openness and creative behavior (Guastello, 2009) and r = 0.47 between openness and creative self-beliefs (including self-rated creativity) (Karwowski & Lebuda, 2016). The second is a negative correlation between conscientiousness and creativity, particularly for artists (e.g., Guastello, 2009;Werner et al, 2014).…”
